why does this happen over and over.. Everyone needs to take responsibility already. I do think its great that he started his own label but focus on that and not being another artist in trouble. The game has changed.. us artist no linger need a major label.. I got my hip hop songs on ITunes for distribution, and I get 100, 000 beats that were only available to major artist, even A&R by the top same music execs that A&R's the major artist albums. Hot hand selected rap beats, :

Gave me that major Money sound I could never get before! the only thing left now for the indie is marketing and promo that the majors still got locked and the long dollar for.
so its great that hes doing his own label but stay focused! you have mad opportunity.. dont blow it! make you hip hop beats and rap, and take it to the next label and make us proud! Dont be the same old get in trouble rapper... be above that and set a example!
